No booze at all. Is this a message?
No tools either. I'm OK with that message.
Books - Jo Nesbo, astronomy, self sufficiency. Lovely.
Tickets to Neil Young. Wahey.
A jumper. Grand.
A bust of an ould fella in a cap, made by the donor. Brilliant.
A shirt. Pink. Jesus.

And a new game invented - Trivial Pictionary. Trivial Pursuit, but instead of answering questions, you have to draw the answer on the card for the category you land on. I wonder what it would be like sober.

As ever on the last legs trying to get something sorted for a present. Anyone know where I could get 6 nation ticket and an overnight stay package or even just a ticketfor a match? Tried Skelton Travel Lurgan but they only do football ones.

Thanks.

Your best bet is the Italy game in March. Make a nice weekend in Rome out of it - you will be able to pick up tickets for it no bother. I would recommend booking own travel and accommodation - don't use a packaged deal.

You will struggle to get tickets for any of the other games - and will end up paying a complete fortune for them. You could get flights, accomadation and tickets to the Italy game fpr the same price as just tickets for the others.

Who are you booking flights to Rome with for the rugby that isn't exorbitant or takes you on a 24 hr magical mystery tour?

Chatting to a fella last week who was looking at home tickets for the France match but they were E800 on a resale site. Scrapped that and found tickets for Italy v Rome for under E50. Flights however were over E500 so he was away to look at flights to Pisa and train to Rome. No cheap options.

We've looked at the Rome fixture a few times down the years, eye watering flight wise unless you spend half the weekend travelling

Not cheaper to fly to Manchester and then from there?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Aer Lingus currently have flights from Dub-Rome leaving Thursday and returning Sunday for e210. Say you are sharing room add another e50 per night, that means you can get your flights, accommodation and tickets for around e400. I don't think that is bad value.

No you can't, even Thursday you're talking around €800 return, 3 nights sleeping, drinking eating. €3000 / couple give or take

I've said to our ones a few years in a row to get me socks.  They always laugh and think I'm joking. Great present.
